Standard plan: personal, non-commercial use only. Enterprise terms at perplexity.ai/hub/legal/enterprise-terms-of-service. Email/calendar integration data explicitly excluded from AI model training.
“To the extent the laws in your jurisdiction do not recognize the legal basis of legitimate interest or another legal basis specified above for a particular purpose, you consent to the processing of your personal information for that purpose through using the Services.”
